The man page provides the list of variables and attributes that can be |
| 17 |
used. Basically, the variable defines the message type (BAD, INFORM, |
| 18 |
GOOD, etc) and the attributes define how to display the text for that |
| 19 |
variable (basically, fg and bg color, and other attributes like |
| 20 |
underlined, blinking, bold, etc.). |
